Journal Title: Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Journal - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis involves fusion of the mandibular condyle to the base of the skull. Surgical treatment is the only choice of treatment in this condition. One main drawback is that despite of extreme care during surgery, facial nerve get damage. The present study aims to determine the effect of electrical stimulation & facial exercises for improving the motor function of facial nerve & mouth opening exercises in patients with reduced mouth opening. The commonly used outcome measure was House Brackmann Score & Maximum mouth opening (MMO). Both the parameters showed improvement by the end of the intervention program.
